nice editorial from the local paper, regarding the missing nuke equipment

[Syrinx]

The justifications from the Bush administration for going to war in Iraq have been numerous, with one college graduate student calculating a few months ago that about two dozen casus bellis, ranging from Saddam Hussein possessing nuclear weapons to having designs on his neighbors’ territory, being advanced by President Bush and others.

But that list was compiled before the report from weapons inspector Charles A. Duefler two weeks ago definitively established there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and that there was no demonstrable connection between the regime of Saddam Hussein and the events of Sept. 11, 2001.

*snip*

The IAEA and ElBaradei were further prevented by the Bush administration from returning to Iraq immediately after the war when they could have resumed monitoring and now, alas, it is anyone’s guess where those nuclear tools and material are.

The only conclusion that can be drawn about this fiasco (other than the Bush administration was incompetent in achieving one of the basic reasons for going to war, in order to keep nuclear material from proliferating) is that, in this instance at least, we are much less secure than we were before the war.

Feeling safer now, anyone?

Do people voting Bush really not paying attention,or do they not care?
